What Do You Want the Boy to Do? - Bonnie Raitt

So you think the man is crazy

He eats up your lies

Like they’re good for him

Apple pie, he don’t even cry

He’s not a fool

He’s just tryin' to do

What his heart says to

To love you

As you take to the wind

To the wind again my friend

As he breaks down within

Within, within, within

He waits for you patiently

Hopin' that one day you’ll see

That all he really wants to be

Is yours and yours alone eternally

What do you want the boy to do?

Don’t you see you’re breaking the child in two?

What do you want the boy to do?

All he really wants is you

He knows what you are

Still he’ll be up game

Saved the world today

But you know better

You don’t go around him

Now and then you promise

All the way out things that you’re gonna get

You will see, you will be

So damn glad that you finally found him

As he watches you come and go

Or you show

As he watched you promise a zero

He waits for you patiently

Hopin' that one day you’ll see

That all he really wants to be

Is yours and yours alone eternally

What do you want the boy to do?

Don’t you see you’re breaking the child in two?

What do you want the boy to do?

Don’t you see that you’re breaking the child in two?
